Gwen, Nicki…Blake Lively? Iggy Azalea’s Top 10 Style-spirations

Nothing’s new. We know this. All of our favorite artists have inspirations, but the genius is in flipping the style and making it their own! Iggy Azalea, formerly Amethyst Amelia Kelly (seriously, she could’ve used this as her stage name), is the queen of “borrowing” from the luminaries that preceded her. Some are obvious; i.e. her Gwen Stefani influence is massive. Others are a bit more surprising — Traci Lords? Really? But the style-shifting Australian emcee has managed to make each of their signature looks her own.

Iggy traipsed through her “Fancy” video all decked out in Clueless-inspired, Alicia Silverstone-esque plaid. We think they look like total twinsies, but Cher Horowitz would probably say, “UGH, as IF!”

Kim Kardashian (and Khloe too, let’s be honest) made the bodycon white tube dress a major thing this summer. So hot. No wonder Iggy jumped on the bandwagon.

5 BALLERINA BUN

And now, let’s take it all the way back to kickass ’80s pornstar-turned–mainstream actress Traci Lords. With her high bun and pouty lips, she looks exactly like Izzy. Well, vice versa.

6 IGGY FROM THE BLOCK

The full coverage panties? The cropped long-sleeved top? The ecru? Iggy looks more like “On the 6” J. Lo than J. Lo did!

7 TOMBOY CHIC

Iggy’s athletic wear stage ensemble is so throwback Sporty Spice that we almost feel like she should incorporate some drop kicks into her act. And wear a gold tooth (remember when Sporty was in that phase?).

8 RAINBOW BRITE

In 2012, Rihanna rocked a neon printed two-piece on stage and killed it. A year later, Iggy did it her own way with an electric lime number.

9 PRINTS CHARMING

Style-wise, where would I-G-G-Y be without Gwen Stefani? The power-clashing prints, the abs…and neither one of them are Hollaback Girls, so there’s that.
